    With the rebuilt Pferdegöpel on the Rudolph shaft in the district of Marienberg Lauta a piece of Marienberg mining history comes to life. The visitor learns about the structure and operation of the originally horse-driven conveyor system, which was operated from 1838 to 1877 on the Rudolph shaft.

    In 1838/1839 the waterhole shaft was expanded into a production shaft. The shaft tube was lined with brick, the shaft was saddled up and a horse head was installed. On January 23, 1839, the shaft was given the name of the new mining master Rudolph Hering and was henceforth called Rudolphschacht.
